Company Onboarding
Role: Company Admin
Portal: Actnation company portal
Prerequisites: You can sign in and your company has not yet completed onboarding.
Overview
Onboarding is a guided setup wizard. The steps shown depend on your company's configuration, but most companies follow one of two paths:
- Corporate Giving path: Company Details → Giving Mode → Employee Setup → Payment Setup → Review & Complete
- Extended path: Adds Campaign Topics, Contribution Model, Finance System, and employee invite options.
You can go back to any completed step before you finish.
Step 1 — Company Details
- On the Welcome screen, review the step list on the left, then click Continue.
- Search for your company by name or CVR number and select the correct result.
- Enter a Display Name — this is what employees and NGOs see. It can be your trading name rather than your full legal name.
- Enter your HR contact email — used for onboarding communications and billing.
- Click Save & Continue.
Company not found? Double-check your CVR number (must be exactly 8 digits) and try again with your full legal name.
Step 2 — Giving Mode
- Select the giving mode your company will use.
- For Corporate Giving, set:
- Annual Budget — your total company donation pool per year (in DKK).
- Voting Periods Per Year — how many giving windows you run annually (e.g., 2 for biannual, 4 for quarterly).
- Financial Year Reset Date — when the annual budget resets.
- First Voting Period Start Date — when your first period begins.
- Voting Period Length — how many days employees have to vote in each period.
- Max Votes Per Employee — how many campaigns each employee can vote for per period (1, 2, or 3).
- Click Save & Continue.
Not sure about budget amounts yet? Save provisional values — you can update them later in Settings before your first voting period starts.
Step 3 — Employee Setup
Choose how your employees are added to Actnation:
Option A — Connect Zenegy (recommended for Zenegy payroll customers)
- Select Payroll Connection.
- If you manage the Zenegy account: click Connect and authorize Actnation.
- If someone else manages payroll: click Request Connection, enter their email, and send the request. They receive an email to authorize the connection.
Option B — Upload a CSV file
- Click Download Template to get the correct column format.
- Fill in one row per employee: Full Name, Email, Department, Location, Start Date, Date of Birth.
- Upload the completed file.
- Review any row-level errors shown and correct the file if needed.
Option C — Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory)
- Select Entra ID and follow the on-screen authorization steps.
- Actnation connects to your Microsoft 365 directory and syncs employees automatically.
Step 4 — Mastercard Payment Setup
This step enables automated bank transfers to NGOs after each voting period.
- Enter your authorized signatory's details: full name, email address, phone number (with country code, e.g., +4512345678), and CVR number.
- Click Submit.
- Your signatory receives an email — they need to complete an authorization step before payment processing can start.
Want to do this later? Click Skip for now. You can return to this from Company → Settings at any time. Note that payments cannot be processed automatically until this setup is complete.
Step 5 — Review & Complete
- Review all sections on the summary screen.
- Click on any section in the step list to go back and make corrections.
- When everything looks right, click Complete Setup.
- You are taken to your company dashboard — your company is now live on Actnation.

Troubleshooting onboarding
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The Complete Setup button is greyed out | One or more required steps are incomplete. Check the step list for any unfinished items. |
| Your company was not found in the search | Verify your CVR number is exactly 8 digits and try searching by your legal registered name. |
| The wrong company was selected | Return to the Company Details step and re-select before finishing. |
| Data looks incorrect after completing | Open Company → Settings and update the relevant section directly. |
